Benefits of LAGBP
- Reversible: Unlike sleeve gastrectomy, gastric plication only folds in the greater curvature of the stomach and securing with sutures to achieve the “banana-shape”. Sutures can be removed if necessary and the stomach will resume its original shape.
- Low risk: This surgery is low risk and patients are expected to make quick recovery via this minimally invasive approach. Since it does not require stapling (as in sleeve gastrectomy), therefore risk of perforation or bleeding is relatively lower.
- Effective appetite reduction: When compared with gastric banding, gastric band plication has more prominent results on weight reduction, achieving results similar to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy but without resecting the stomach.
Risks of LAGBP
- Some patients may experience nausea and vomiting after the surgery. This can be improved by changing eating habit.
- Weight regain is much reduced when plication is combined with gastric banding.
